conquered BY Rum.

The great empires of antiquity might
still have been fiourishing but for certain
destructive agencies cherished within their
own bosoms. Babylon was conquered not
so much by the arms Of the Modes and Per-
slams. as by drunkenness and revelry. Had
it not been for the debauchery of her kings
and princes and the general effemnacy of
her people, she might long have reared her
lofty brow among the nations with her
hanging gardens and fair palaces, the adj
miration and delight of all beholders.
Persia fell, not so much by the energy and
valOr Of the Greek armies. as by the drunk
enness of her kings and people. Had it
not been Tor this, that wonderful people
might still have been power in the world.
Greece in her turn fell, not SO much by
the proves of the Roman arms, as by her
own dscord and effeminacy. Save fol this,
Athens, in art, science and manners, might
still have been the world wonder and ex-
ample. Rome fell, not so much by the
hories Of Goths, Huns and Nandals de-
scending upon hey plains and assaulting
her cities, as by the careless ease and sot-
fish indifference of her people. Wine and
spoil took away the heart ofthlt great EN-
pire and unnerved its mighty arm. But
for this, Rome, from her seven hills, might
still have been controlling the destinies of
the world, or at least leading in the van of
nations. World
The saloon is the blood poison of our
social and political system. twill disrupt
our free government unless the strong arm
of law is laid firmly upon it. To license it
is to dignity it with responsibility. To so
dignity it is to pave the road on which the
boys Of Ame rica tread their swift jour
ney 10 destruction. Every man who
votes for license votes for a through
ticket to he'll for thousands Of
boys over whom fond mothers have kept
lonely vigils on many nights in the blessed
old l"me. Lets vote to crush out this
great despoiler Of human hope and happi-
ness Waco (Isxds) Adc0nee.
